The Infinite Game

De: Simon Sinek

Narrado por: Simon Sinek

From the New York Times bestselling author of Start With Why and Leaders Eat Last, a bold framework for leadership in today’s ever-changing world.

How do we win a game that has no end? Finite games, like football or chess, have known players, fixed rules and a clear endpoint. The winners and losers are easily identified. Infinite games, games with no finish line, like business or politics, or life itself, have players who come and go. The rules of an infinite game are changeable while infinite games have no defined endpoint. There are no winners or losers—only ahead and behind.

The question is, how do we play to succeed in the game we’re in?

In this revelatory book, Simon Sinek offers a framework for leading with an infinite mindset. On one hand, none of us can resist the fleeting thrills of a promotion earned or a tournament won, yet these rewards fade quickly. In pursuit of a Just Cause, we will commit to a vision of a future world so appealing that we will build it week after week, month after month, year after year. Although we do not know the exact form this world will take, working toward it gives our work and our life meaning.

Leaders who embrace an infinite mindset build stronger, more innovative, more inspiring organizations. Ultimately, they are the ones who lead us into the future.

Simon has done it again...

He has written a book that perpetuates his cause by guiding future and current leaders to change their thinking on how they're going to lead or currently leading those in their charge. I thoroughly enjoyed his book and can't wait for the next one.

Why Infinite pursuits prevail over finite pursuits

The book made it clear to me how to better distinguish and reframe finite goals from infinite goals. And why infinite goals are in a way better because they asks a deeper question about what is a worthy pursuit to keep refining even without an end.

It also gives good examples on how people and companies pursuing these infinite pursuits will prevail over those who are pursuing finite goals in the long run.

This book is finite. It’s purpose is infinite.

Few books have the ability to perpetuate their message. This book will allow you to apply purpose to everything you do — from a fundamental first-principles perspective. This book inspires the reader to gain an infinite understanding of what it means to do the things that inspire them. I am grateful for having read it, and I look forward to helping others feel a similar inspiration so that we can all change the world for the better.

Another great book on leadership

Great insights on how to lead in a constantly changing environment. I would recommend to anyone leading a team in a dynamic environment. It's all about the journey not the destination.

Excellent and enlightening

This book has broken down the opposing concepts of finite and infinite thinking so well, and it heavily challenges common thinking in business and life. So good, as expected after Leaders Eat Last and Start With Why.

I enjoy listening to Simon Sinek, so I was happy to know it was read by him before listening. After listening, I find he is as good at reading his own work as giving speeches and writing each. Sometimes the author detracts as a reader, whereas Sinek actually adds to it, especially knowing the emotions he intends per each concept better than anyone.
